My apologies, as you can sense, I'm pretty frustrated with the whole ordeal. I suppose I should take a bit of my own advice and take a "chill pill". As far as addressing my situation is concerned, I've heard others here mention they've taken certain supplements [HGH, AI etc.] and "watched the fat come off". I'm aware it's entirely possible these are people who only need to lose 10 lbs or so, so whatever they lose, makes significant difference. Where as for someone my size; 20 lbs. goes barely unnoticed. However I do know, at one time, my metabolism was MUCH different, clearly something in me changed. Some chemical reaction took place and I began to produce too much or too little of something that triggered the excessive weight gain to begin with. All I'm trying to do is figure how to "reset" or undo what ever it was I did so I can get back to a level playing field and I'll do all the rest it takes to loose the lbs. In the mean time, I'm hoping the well informed people of this site can offer up some ideas as to what that initial change that occurred might have been or at the very least how I can "fix" it if at all possible. I'm thinking it cold be not unlike TRT; which has addressed many of my issues. [Thank God!] Somewhere in there there has to be something similar for my weight. I'm open to all suggestions. Thanks guys and again, sorry for the initial outburst; I just hope you can appreciate where I'm coming from.
